The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has extended its transition period and will continue accepting credit card payments for tax obligations until 30 June 2027, rather than the previously planned cut-off of 30 November 2026.
This gives businesses more time to prepare for the change before credit card payments are phased out.
If you have a payment plan linked to a credit card, you must change to another payment method. Payments after 30 November 2026 will be unsuccessful, and the status of your payment plan may move into arrears or default. We’ll write to you if you need to change your payment method.
